Kountry Kitchen North Event Center
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Each week on Community Link, Carolene Mays takes a look at an organization or business that is making a positive impact on the community.
This week, co-owner and chef Cynthia Wilson shared that Kountry Kitchen, which began as a small six-seat establishment, has grown significantly over the years. Following a fire and the challenges of COVID-19, Kountry Kitchen reopened with a new 300-seat event center and a rooftop space for community events.
“Out of the ashes came something very mighty,” Wilson said.
Kountry Kitchen was originally started by Wilson’s husband’s family, with the women cooking for neighborhood children, which eventually led to the opening of the restaurant. The restaurant is known for its popular dishes such as catfish, chicken wings, and neck bones, which have become a staple for both locals and visitors.
Kountry Kitchen has attracted notable visitors, including former President Barack Obama and sports commentator Shannon Sharpe, adding to its reputation as a must-visit spot in Indianapolis.
Country Kitchen continues to thrive as a cultural and culinary hub in Indianapolis, drawing support from the community and visitors alike. Its resilience and expansion have solidified its status as a cherished destination for soul food and events.
